miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements

[brendonjkding]

I love this library a lot, but I heard from Readme of Alderis's repo that this library was abandoned. Sorry to hear that.
If anyone still wants to use this library. I highly recommend to statically link with my fork version.

Statically linking to your tweak, so it won't conflict with Alderis.
And my fork including miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements listed as below:

• Using native method to read/write pref value, you can implement your own getter/setter.
• Providing native reload interface, cell won't re-generate when reloading specifier.
• fix a bug which cause alpha of fallback is always 1.
• fix a bug which cause alpha is always 0 on some low version device.
• fix building issues with specific sdk.
• fully use arc.
• add a script by which you can test on simulator.

If needed , I'm willing to create PRs or directly maintain this library.
Thanks, I really love this library.

Sorry about the late reply. I’ll talk to @atomikpanda and get back to you.

Also, I’m glad to hear you like the library, and that you turned on ARC completely – I did this a while ago but ended up with issues (some firmware had trouble). The change was then reverted for those files. Do you have tested this on a set of (old) devices? Alderis might be new but it does not come with support for older versions unless I’m mistaken.

Thanks for reply. One of the reason I like this library is it provides great compatibility to old devices.

I have tested on iOS7 but not on iOS10.
After some debugging, I think issues on iOS10 should be fixed after this commit I pushed just now
brendonjkding@dd0a7e0

Now it works without issues on my 32bit iOS7 iPad2 and 32bit iOS10 iPad4.
Let me know if issues still exists.

Nice! I'll give it a try as well on my iOS 10 device. Feel free to open PRs and I'll try to take a look at them and push new versions as necessary.
